EXTREME Magic

Introduction

Extreme Magic was written with one goal in mind–to put you on the fast track to learning

powerful, visual street magic effects and stunts. The type of magic which, when performed

properly and under the right conditions, has the capacity to elicit gasps of amazement

from bewildered onlookers.

While experienced magicians will be able to modify and add these effects to their own

repertoires, this book strives to assume very little in the way of prior knowledge. It is

designed to take you step-by-step through the process of learning and performing street

magic for real people. Nothing in this book is technically demanding or beyond the reach

of the average person willing to put some time and practice into mastering the effects. You

can do it, even if you’ve never performed or done magic before.

If this book looks more like a “quick start” computer guide than a text-heavy magic book,

it’s for a reason. Most people learn better visually. That’s why, we’ve concentrated on

providing photos which clearly illustrate important points supported by concise copy. You’ll

also find tips and warnings, where appropriate.

Here is an overview of how each trick is organized:

Opening Remarks– This is the larger italicized copy which introduces each effect.

Effect– A brief description of the trick from the audience’s point of view.

Method– Plain and simple–the inner working of how the trick is accomplished.

Preparation or Properties*– Any behind-the-scenes preparation or special items.

Performance– A step-by-step breakdown telling you exactly how to perform the trick, including all

movements and handling, as well as patter suggestions (guidelines for what to say during the trick)

where necessary.

Warning(s)*– Things to watch out for, or keep in mind, when doing the trick.

Tip(s)– Thoughts and ideas to help you get the most out of each trick.

* Indicates does not appear for all tricks.

We hope you enjoy learning these effects. Please give them the practice they deserve

before attempting to perform them. Now let’s get to work.

EXTREME Magic

It’s A Snap

The Marlo Snap Change is one of the most visual moves in card

magic and well worth the effort required to master it.

Warning

Watch your angles. The

audience should be in

front and slightly to your

right.

Effect

An indifferent card visually changes into a spectator’s selection just by snapping it with

your finger.

Tips

Of course, experienced

magicians will prefer to

control a freely selected

card to the top position.

The card may also be

signed and given to the

spectator as a souvenir.

Method

Two cards are held as one with the selected card concealed behind the indifferent card.

The indifferent card is drawn back bringing the selected card into view. The selected card

now hides the palmed indifferent card.

Performance

Use the Cross-Cut Force on pages 17 and 18 to force a card. Have the card returned to

the deck and casually shuffle the cards.

In order to learn the cor-

rect action. Practice by

taking your second finger

off the card and then,

sweeping it backwards.

This reinforces thumb and

forefinger only grip.

Say you are going to try and find their card. Spread the cards with the faces toward you

and cut the selected (force) card so it goes on top of the face down pack.

“I think I’ve got it.” Push the top few cards to the right and square them up, at the same

time obtaining a “break” under the second card with your little finger. This simply means

wedging a little bit of the skin under the card. Photo 1.1.

After you are able to per-

form the move smoothly,

add in the snap which

actually facilitates and

adds some emphasis to

the change.

Slide these two cards forward as one and take lower part of the far short edge with your

right first and second fingers underneath and your thumb on top. Photos 1.2 and 1.3.

Turn you hand up and display the two cards as one. It looks like it’s only the indifferent

card at this point.

EXTREME Magic

It’s A Snap

Performance Continued

Now here’s the move. Don’t worry about snapping it with the other hand

at first. While keeping your right thumb and first finger stationary–draw the

front card backward and underneath with your right second finger. This is

important–only your second finger moves. Photos 1.4 and 1.5.

Photo 1.4

The move is a surprisingly natural action. The indifferent card will clear

the bottom of the selected card and end up being gripped between the

underside of the thumb and the second finger. It will now be hidden from

view by the selected card. Photo 1.6.

Photos 1.7 - 1.9 expose the action behind the scenes.

At this point, you can pick up the pack and casually ditch the palmed

indifferent card.
